When I made the reservation, I was booked for a curtsied room. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised that we got a water/beachside room. Same price we booked the other room for. The room was large and clean and comfortable.Thank you BWPlus!

The girls at the desk or so welcoming and Larry, the Head Maintenance Man, allows us to use the hose to wash our Corvettes when we come in Friday night from a long, dusty drive!!We return to Best Western Dockside every year!!We wish they would bring back their breakfast buffet with the eggs, meat, cereal, and place to make your own waffles!!!

Very nice rooms. Pool was clean and area comfortable to sit in after swimming. Beach was great, a nice change from swimming just in a pool. Breakfast bar had lots of options and was refilled promptly. We will definitely stay here again.

I think we were given a handicap room, maybe because it was the only King bed available. I would have preferred to be informed so I could have chosen a Queen bed room instead.

Great location and staff. Room was clean and in good working condition. The rooms are old and dark. Could use a remodel or at least new paint to brighten the interior up. Over all it was a great stay and I would go back.

We've stayed there for many past Corvette Crossroads. I believe the rate is exorbitant but we do like it's location. Their breakfast was very disappointing this year compared to previous years.

Perfect location and great front desk staff!Suggest a little more clean up between hotel and beach. I had no time or I would have done it for you. Also suggest a water shut off for the sand removal foot etc cleaner.

We stay at this establishment for 5-7 days each year (and have for over a decade and a half), and are completely satisfied with each visit. The rooms are spotless, housekeeping does an excellent job. The front desk staff is always welcoming and answer any questions that we may have. The location is wonderful for everything that we like to do.

Staff was nice and recommended discounts to area sites. Hotel was clean and quiet with a nice beach area. Pool and spa were open and clean with lots of towels. Hotel was convenient to everything and most everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Breakfast was good and lots of variety, although it stayed the same every day.

We stayed 4 nights in a lakeside balcony room on the 3rd floor. The view was beautiful! The location is perfect walking distance to the shops & ferries. The hotel itself was a little dated, like many others around. However, it was very clean! I would definitely recommend & stay there again!
